On October 14, Bitcoin 
$77,690 and Ethereum 
$2,329 ETFs saw a substantial net inflow of $340 million by the end of the trading day. This inflow partially compensated for the $755 million outflow observed on Monday following historic liquidations over the weekend. According to SoSoValue data, Bitcoin ETFs, particularly Fidelity’s FBTC, benefited from a total of $132.67 million inflow, leading among peers. Meanwhile, Ark & 21Shares and Bitwise recorded positive fund flows, while BlackRock’s IBIT experienced a $30.8 million outflow and Valkyrie’s BRRR saw a $14 million outflow. Ethereum ETFs attracted a total of $236.22 million, with Fidelity’s FETH standing out with $154.62 million.
Current Trends in ETF Fund Flows
Daily data illuminates a significant divergence in ETF fund flows. In the Bitcoin ETF arena, strong entries from FBTC offset outflows from IBIT and BRRR, culminating in a net positive fund flow of $102.6 million. For Ethereum ETFs, the bulk of $236.22 million was channelled into FETH, alongside contributions from Grayscale, Bitwise, VanEck, and Franklin Templeton.
Vincent Liu, CIO of Kronos Research, interpreted Monday’s $755 million net outflow as a reflection of institutional investors’ cautious stance following the weekend’s market turbulence. Despite the resurgence of fund inflows, the disparity in ETF-based performance remains, with risk appetite gradually recovering.
On the pricing front, CryptoAppsy data reveals that over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin increased by 0.95%, reaching $112,781, while Ethereum rose by 4.04%, touching $4,133. Both BTC and ETH maintain their short-term trading ranges.
Reflecting on ETF Resurgence in the Market
The widespread liquidation wave over the weekend wiped out over $500 billion from the total market value of cryptocurrencies, driving prices down by approximately 10%. The downturn was triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s confirmation of a 100% tariff on China, stirring fears of a potential trade war and pressuring riskier assets.
Augustine Fan, Head of Insights at SignalPlus, commented, “Post-Friday’s multiple standard deviation sale, daily noise in movements is usual. With the tariff threshold set for November 1, ongoing volatility should be expected.” Sensitivity to news streams will remain crucial for the stability of ETF inflows.
Market participants are recalibrating their risk stances in tandem with U.S.-China rhetoric and macroeconomic data flows. Generally, the recovery in ETF fund flows is regarded as a temporary reprieve rather than a lasting reversal.
